Wow GREAT forum, just found this place and really impressed with the information sharing so thank you!

I do have a question that I was hoping someone could help point some light on the issue.

My HD seem to have instantly die, started making a clicking/high chirp sound as soon as I plug in the power supply. Seem to have started when I was watching a file from the media server. Sadly I can't seem to power down the system with the power button, white LED light is on.. a quick blink of the blue LED but it's a quick flash and only at the start and just once.

Basically it's not responsive...

1. I feel the HD is deadish or not worth trying to revive so I'm looking at a new HDD, the system is 1TB, I would like to update it to something greater than 1TB... What is the size limit for this NAS? Can a 3TB drive work?

2. Do you have a recommended drive? WD Red drive? NAS specific drives or green drive?

3. Solid state drives / SSD - Would you recommend using those? Low energy, and quick?

sorta on topic... What would case the hard drive to just die? like wasn't knocked, no power flickers... I read something about the drives not really "sleeping" or spinning down is this an issue for this Iomega NAS?

Same question here. I'm curious if anyone has replaced the hard drive with one larger than a 3TB? I would love to put in a 6TB drive, but could settle for 3TB or less if it doesn't support larger drives.
